XDrawString()															     XDrawString()

Name
  XDrawString - draw an 8-bit text string, foreground only.

Synopsis
  XDrawString(display, drawable, gc, x, y, string, length)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	int x, y;
	char *string;
	int length;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  x	    Specify  the  x  and  y  coordinates of the baseline starting position for the character, relative to the origin of the specified
  y	    drawable.

  string    Specifies the character string.

  length    Specifies the number of characters in string.

Description
  XDrawString() draws the given string into a drawable using the foreground only to draw set bits in the font.	It does not affect any	other
  pixels in the bounding box for each character.

  The  y  coordinate defines the baseline row of pixels while the x coordinate is the point from which lbearing, rbearing, and width are mea-
  sured.

  XDrawString() uses these graphics context components:  function, plane_mask, fill_style, font, subwindow_mode,  clip_x_origin,  clip_y_ori-
  gin,	and  clip_mask.   This	function  also	uses these graphics context mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple,
  ts_x_origin, and ts_y_origin.  Each character image, as defined by the font in gc, is treated as an additional mask for a fill operation on
  the drawable.

Name
  XDrawImageString16 - draw 16-bit image text characters.

Synopsis
  XDrawImageString16(display, drawable, gc, x, y, string, length)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	int x, y;
	XChar2b *string;
	int length;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  x	    Specify  the  x  and  y coordinates of the baseline starting position for the image text character, relative to the origin of the
  y	    specified drawable.

  string    Specifies the character string.

  length    Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.

Description
  XDrawImageString16() draws a string, but unlike XDrawString16() it draws both the foreground and the	background  of	the  characters.   It
  draws the characters in the foreground and fills the bounding box with the background.

  XDrawImageString16()	uses  these  graphics  context	components:  plane_mask, foreground, background, font, subwindow_mode, clip_x_origin,
  clip_y_ origin, and clip_mask.  The function and fill_style defined in gc are ignored; the effective function is GXcopy and  the  effective
  fill_style is FillSolid.

  XDrawImageString16()	first  fills a destination rectangle with the background pixel defined in gc, and then paints the text with the fore-
  ground pixel.  The upper-left corner of the filled rectangle is at [x, y - font_ascent], the width is  overall->width  and  the  height  is
  ascent + descent, where overall->width, ascent, and descent are as would be returned by XQueryTextExtents16() using gc and string.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text, and Chapter 5, The Graphics Context.
